That last picture looks like you were knapping plywood?!?!?!

That is amazing grain in that wood, erm, I mean stone.  It is stone, right?

You right, you pic could use some work.  ;D  But those points are picture perfect!!! That last one has to be some sort of petrified wood. Really amazing the difference in color between the rings. It takes a special knapping skill to chase a stone ring.
